I guess one can say I have been busy. So busy in fact I almost forgot about my blog. Since my last post have have obtain my instrument rating and am currently into my commercial semester. Today I took my first FAA practice quiz and scored in the mid 80's. My plan is to take my exam next week followed by a successful check-ride soon after. My IP wants to get me done before I leave to Germany in March. This seemed crazy in January when I first heard his proposal, but I believe it is possible. I have really enjoyed this semester and learned a lot from my Instrument training. The main thing I learned that there is no room for self doubt in my cockpit and the most important thing is that my wife (YES I AM MARRIED TO MY LOVE!!!!) is my rock. When I questioned myself she made me believe in my abilities. Her love means more than anything in this world to me.
My instructor for this semester is a great mentor with excellent teaching skills, it is bitter sweet to see him leave, but I couldn't be happier for him going off to fly EC130's at the Grand Canyon.
Happy Flying!
